Alabama was originally a Roose- It state, ' and the Republicans de- eared for him in a state convention. The movement spread and in 1902 J. A. W. Smith an able and distinguished man, was induced to take the nomina tion for governor. The organisation lias always denied that it excluded any negroes but the tow and demoralising class. It was. however, described as a "LUy White" organization, and lresident Roosevelt undertook to crush it. He removed from office several fed' ei al office holders. The Alabama; men -were angry, and pointed to the fact that in North Carolina, where Senator Pritehard was the "Lily White" lead' er, the president was appointing "Lily "Whites" to office and even unseating! negroes to do It , They determined not to submit. The president thereupon ignored the regu lar organisation. , Men of both parties from Alabama aay that the men who undertook to build up a new Republican party in Alabama are going back into the Dem ocratic party, believing it to be hope less to fight the president. This drift! Is gradual, but it Is believed that with in a few year the Democratic party will have absorbed them, and there will be, as of old, only a white party and a negro party in Alabama. The most of the other states where the new Republican movement began under MeKinley, it has dissolved un der President Roosevelt's hostility. Alabama and North Carolina were the only states whtoh undertook to with stand the president. Io North Caro lina the president yielded to Senator Pritehard, and in Alabama the fight Is still on. r LONDON .ti 1700- Wkn Trattwra.'.Beaws AOraca Br Mr MO TesasIa Bar. TjMMlAn fn'ITOft waa.

" ' Our immediate forbears, were evident ly not overparticular about sights and smells. They were accustomed to see men sitting In the pillory pelted with rotten eggs and possibly included among their immediate circle not a few who had been deprived of their noses and ears for expressing too rreeiy ineir opinions, political and religious. Tbe drains were In an appalling con dition. The innumerable churchyards were so full of coffins that tbey often projected through the; turf. Bear and bull baiting, dog fights and boxing matches were attended even by royalty as late as 1820. and five years later all the "dandies' In Loudon were paying blgb prices to stand lu the carts round Tyburn to behold twenty-two of their fellow creatures banged for misdemean ors wuicii lu our time would be pun ished with a few days' Imprisonment. Saturday Keview. 4', l THE BOY - -"DISPOSES SARA UN-SAY COLEMAN .v.. snve, Convealeat Fettera. Leo Deutsch, a Russian political exile who was permitted to return to bis borne, tells in bis book, "Sixteen Years In Siberia," tales uot only of suffering. but of lenient treatment by his Jailers. In Siberian prisons often the harshness of the discipline was considerably re laxed. On one occasion, to the vast amusement of the prison authorities, Deutsch appeared before tbe governor with his fetter, tied np wltn a pit string, and it appeared be had only as sumed tbem for the moment But the complaisant governor was afraid of a visit from high quarters. Then if an Inspection Is made you will be wearing your fetters," he asked, laughing. "Of course," replied Deutsch. "Yon see. I've come to you In full dress," point ing to bis tied up chains. On auotber occasion Deutsch's bag was stolen. It contained, among other articles of 1 convict's attire, tbe Indispensable fet ters, and be had to apply for a new pair. "Take care you don't lose these!" said the officer as Dentsch packed them among his luggage. Polly dug the heel of her smart little slipper Into the earth and sent the hammock forward vigorously. There were only forty minutes of freedom left . .., ;;, ". I, r At ft, when the train came in. she meant to rise from the hammock, de llciousiy cool In her awiri of white or- I gandie, and give Mr Howard the soft- est and prettiest of "yeses. Visions of Paquln and Doucet crea tions swum before her mistily, - It would be a pleasant life. She would ride, drive, golf, yacht, lie an arbiter of fashious, an organiser of charities. a patroness of balls. lu the spring there-would be little Jauuts to London and Paris. Polly pillowed her bead on Iter anna and watched herself, all bll lowy satin and diamond sunbursts, float up tbe aile to tbe beating of drums, the flutter of (lags, the envy of bridesmaid. "Dear," said a voice, breaking Into her reverie, "1 think you mean to aay yea wheu Mr. Howard conies up this afternoon, and 1 want to tell you that I am pleased. lie will be very kind; you will have everything and go ev erywhere. 1 loved your father, but the world didn't call it a good match. YoO know what my struggles have been to keep up appearances, and you have made a sensible decision." Polly's mother slipped away, Tbe dear 500 friends believed Polly to be a little unnerved by the winter gayeties. Polly knew that she was summering at the mountain hotel be cause it was convenient for Mr. How ard to run up and stay over Sundays. "The time has come," said Polly, quoting the Walrus, "and some of ns are out of breath" She almost de cided to meet Mr. Howftrd at the foot of the hill. Hi breathlessness would be purely physical, bdt for her sake he had climbed the hill on a good many Saturday afternoons, Polly looked at the shining steel rails below her. There were thirty minutes left now. She told herself that she wjis well content and then shivered ouaeeountably. It waa the ridiculous Walrus and Carpenter story: It-was the memory tnf tbe fate of cake-all white and glittery. I'll do a I dog dance op the aisle." . : Poll got her lips Into a smile. The train came 00, ,It puffed and snorted as It chmOed," and the little hills rumbled and grumbled In answer. The man looked down at tbe quiet figure and stooped and touched the girl's fingers with bia lips,". ".We'.were. once a precious, pair, of fooli, little Polly.r We've learned to laugh .and be, wis bow, but somehow I d like to be a fool once mote," 'Not a line of the girl's figure stirred. With a long drawn out shriek the train wept around a near curve. ' Tbe man turned away. 1 ",:'- Polly dug her heel 'Into the 'ground and sent the' hammock out With a bound the little peach atone heart leaped-to the man's feet It waa go ing to find oot If fate waa aucb a scurvy goddess. It was going to see If she wouldn't turn kind. Polly and the. man were facing each other when the train pounded In. She had picked up the "Luclle.". He held tbe heart of a peach atone. 1 tola you 1 waa telling myself a goodby," said Polly defiantly. "Am I part of yourself, dear?" Polly was silent Her eyes were on a stout man who had stepped from the Pullman and was making bla eager, panting way toward her hammock. Polly," some one very much nearer waa panting now, "I couldn't let you beat your life out In Poverty street; I couldn't let its bare walls crush your spirit; I couldn't ask you to give up all the gay; smart' empty things you love for"- "Tiresome things" "Polly" the cry went straight to the girl's heart -"you couldn't! "I could," said Polly. "Then you wouldn't?" The sua slanted Into the depths of Polly's shining, misty eyes. She tried to spenk. but could not , Howard, not twenty feet away, stop ped short and wiped his wet brow. I'm frightened!'. Polly's voice quiv ered childishly. "We used to" "We did," with 'conviction. "It got us ont of every scrape." Howard wined. his perplexed, middle aged brow j then he wiped his perplex ed,npectacll eyes., He'was very con ventiouuh and the gossamer web of convention was torn in shreds, , .
